Description

The ASHRAE New Jersey Chapter Scholarship is available to qualified undergraduate mechanical or architectural engineering students enrolled at a post-secondary educational institute within the geographic boundaries of the New Jersey Chapter or who has graduated from a high school within the New Jersey Chapter geographic boundaries. If there are no eligible applicants under these criteria, the scholarship will be available to a student either attending a school or who has attended a high school within the geographic boundaries of ASHRAE Region I and meets the above criteria. Scholarships are available to undergraduate engineering or pre-engineering students pursuing a Bachelor of Science or Engineering degree in a course of study that has traditionally been a preparatory curriculum for the HVAC&R profession. Applicants must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 and/or a class standing of no less than the top 30 percent and meet at least one of the following criteria: (1) the institution hosts a recognized ASHRAE student branch ASHRAE Student Branches; (2) or the program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET); (3) or the program is accredited by Engineers Canada or the Canadian Council of Technicians & Technologists (CCTT). Re-applications accepted from former scholarship applicants and recipients who meet current criteria. Applicants must submit three signed letters of recommendation, one from an instructor or faculty advisor, a current or past employer, and another character reference (other than a family member). In cases where the institution has an ASHRAE student branch on campus, a letter from the faculty advisor of that branch may be one of the three letters of recommendation.
